Fig. 7: QF-DE image of ER transition zone with COP-II vesicles

Quick-freeze deep-etch of the transition zone of the ER (er) with COP-II coated vesicles attached. The coated pits (arrows) have small 11 nm globular subunits, where these have not been fractured away to reveal the vesicle membrane underneath. The necks also have globular subunits along their length. Threads of non-etchable material link the components of the transition zone together. dict, dictyosome. (For details see Allen and Fok, J.
